Under The Twinkle Of A Fading Star: The Return of Dangers, War, and the Modern Age
The New Realm
In the shattered remains of what was once known as the River Provinces, a Dawn Caste Solar Exalted named Markian Sunflame had survived the Threefold War and protected his small kingdom. Markian had been young when the war ended, having Exalted early in the Yozi invasion, but he took his responsibilities seriously, and set to work protecting his people. Using his own Charms, he journeyed through the Wyld to nearby nations, following the trails that connected the Span's Manses and eventually gathering around himself a new Solar Circle. Naming his home nation the new Imperial Seat, Markian began construction of ships that would help his people travel as he did; as it stood, his fledgeling empire was in danger of fracturing entirely without his constant guidance. Once his first Wyldfarers were created, he began to travel further afield, absorbing new nations and worlds into his New Realm - a ressurection of the Great Deliberative in his mind's eye, where Celestial Exalts might once again govern the world as they had, guided with a newfound sense of responsibility. Markian managed to uncover over a dozen Essences, all of whom joined his growing Empire. Finally, however, one of his ships travelled eastwards, and the Solar who piloted it came face to face with a second massive Empire to the west. The stage was set for disaster.
The Bloodgold War
To say that the initial meetings between the Scarlet Imperium and the New Realm were disasterous would be an understatement of epic proportions. On the one hand, the wars of the past Age were still in the minds of the eldest of the Dragon-Blooded, a very few of whom had actually been Exalted during the confrontations, and who remembered the Solars fighting, not for the demonic armies as the Immaculate texts had suggested, but against them.
